Photographers everywhere love the Golden Hour… that last hour before sunset, when the light is golden and makes everything look magical. This savvy mom requested the Golden Hour… and I was happy to oblige last weekend. The Kennedy family is very near and dear to me… 5 years ago, they were my very 1st paid shoot as a professional photographer! And I’ve shot for their family every year since… birthdays, Mother’s day, Christmas cards, new babies… and I couldn’t be happier. This mom, Monica Kennedy, is responsible for a great deal of my success… I have never advertised because her referral is trusted and carries far and wide. I’ve nicknamed her my MVP-VIP, and she has free sessions for a lifetime.
So make sure to stay tuned for tomorrow’s post!… a highlight of my favorite moments from that very first professional shoot with the Kennedy family.
Here’s how it all began… Monica and Joe – can’t you just feel the love?
Here is my favorite threesome: Ryan, Coco, and Stella… Playing in the park… throwing leaves and getting giggly on the park bench…
The boys…
The girls…
One of my signature shots… The Secret..
Aw, shucks mom – stop embarrassing me!
I adore the Kennedy family… they are sweet, fun, thoughtful, generous, and gorgeous! They are my number one fans, and I’m their’s!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post of my very 1st professional shoot 5 years ago with the Kennedy family.

How fun! I love the golden hour. The color is beautiful!
Beautiful family!!! Great light!
Another great set. Absolutely love #2 and #6. Wonderful light, and great portrait. Stunning :)
Breathtaking and beautiful shots! Now I know to do my photos during this time! And can we do this location? While you’re at it, can we borrow these model children too please? Hahaha!
Christa, I can clearly see how this wonderful family can become MVP-VIP. After seeing this shoot – I’m a fan as well.
Beautiful lighting – Nice photo tip. shots 2 and 6 are my favorite as well.
Warmest regards to the Kennedy family

This is an awesome idea Christa. It was so cool to see your first “job” along with your growth as a photographer and the growth of the Family! Your story telling though images has matured but it is so cool to see that you are as true to your vision today as you were on that first session!
